    City Championship Results

    The city championship results are here. The last names are missing at the moment, and that may or may not get fixed in a bit.

    Pasta Feed Monday

    There will be a pasta feed monday night at 6:15 at Henry's house: 1919 Webster. If you're coming, please sign up here

    Volleyball attendance contest

    There will be a contest to see which Paly team can get the highest attendance to support the Paly Volleyball team this Thursday 6:45 at Gunn (we are playing Gatos). Wear Paly gear and get in free.

    Stanford Entries

    All high school entries for Stanford Invitational are here along with their fastest PR for a race greater than or equal to three miles based on athletic.net. This doesn't separate by race, so you won't necessarily race all the people that you see here. Anyone it couldn't find a PR for isn't on the list, including our freshmen, seeing as all of our races have been shorter than 3 miles. Additionally, some people have different names entered versus names on athletic.net (Eg. Ben vs Benjamin).

    Central Results

    Central meet results are up here.

    SCVAL Meet #1 Date Change

    The central meet that was originally on Tuesday (9/13) is now on 9/27.

    Friday (9/2) Morning Practice

    Because Friday is a minimum day, we will be holding practice before school starting at 6:30.

    Meet dismissal times updated

    There is now the dismissal times from class for meet days on the meet info page, as well as when we leave from paly and when the meet starts. Your teachers will be notified of when you get out early.

    No Tutorial Tuesday (8/23)

    There is no tutorial this tuesday, and, as such, school lets out at 1:45. Practice will still be 20 minutes after school, thus starting at 2:05.

    Team Survey

    Athletes, please complete the team survey here.

    Absence Form

    There is now an online form to report your absences here. Please talk to Coach Michael in addition to submitting.

    Parent Meeting

    There will be a parent meeting on Monday, 8/22, starting at 6PM at the Media Arts Center, then splits up for the XC folks.

    Pre-season Practices

    There will be practices the week of 8/8-8/12 from 10-12
